Fucked up. The cops actually repeatedly called the nurse to check this guy, and she repeatedly decided not to do anything. Including leaving for the night at a point when he was no longer breathing. Who are these nurses they have employed in the jail?
nurses is in such short supply in red areas, that they are willing to waive certain nursing requirements for nurses, so a C grade or worst nurse might be working in those areas. all the top-nurses working at more expensive facilities would have higher standards.
they are also less likely to be traveling nurses.
i have read before that prison medical staff is full of people who can't get medical jobs anywhere else. I think it was a reddit AMA a few years back. The picture painted was bleak.
Yep.
Same thing happens with a lot of elder care and long term mental health facilities.
Whole lot of fraud and abuse, of all kinds.
Whoops!
Lost your certification in one state because you got caught defrauding billing hours as a pharmacist? Move a few states away, your cert/degree still exists, but chances are the revokation won't show up because why do a thorough background check? that revokation/demerit is only specific to that other state... And also just falsify your work history a bit.
With prisons, rather notoriously.... literally no reputable professionals administer most executions.
Because the AMA derides most (all?) methods of them as unethical.
... So by definitiom, you only get unethical people doing the executions, and surprise! they fuck them up all the time.
most of them dont even nurses, by probablY not even a employee with certifications sometimes. im not surprised executions are even done by certified nurses, probably label them as a health tech,,,,etc. actual md or nurses probably dont want to risk thier license getting revoked for participating in a EXECUTION.
I can attest to this.
Credentials: I've watched Prison Break.
My buddy's wife is a nurse. I asked her about this and she shared the pay is shit, cops treat you like shit, and you're under their authority vs doing the right thing.
I can only imagine the many doctors who work at a prison having to look the other way and pay lip service to the hippocratic oath.
